The Newton North HS Science Team has had a stellar year of competitions and has qualified for two national competitions: one in Florida at the end of June and one in Bozeman, Montana, in August.  The team is now preparing to compete and seeking to raise approximately $10,000 to offset the expenses for these trips.  Newton community members can help in two ways.

1. Donations can be sent to the NNHS Science Team c/o Amy Winston,
   Department Head for Science, NNHS, 457 Walnut Street, Newton, MA 02460.
   (Checks can be made out to the “City of Newton” with “NNHS Science Team” in the memo line.)
2. Corporate sponsors are being recruited and will be acknowledged on the team’s banners and t-shirts for these competitions as well as through local media after the competitions.  Companies and organizations interested in being sponsors should contact Ms. Winston at amy_winston@newton.k12.ma.us.

The NNHS Envirothon team finished first in a statewide competition last month, coming in first place in all ecostations (Soils, Wildlife, Water, and Forestry) and second place in its Current Issue presentation on the condition of Newton’s ailing urban forest and street trees.  In all, the NNHS Science Team participated in seven competitions this year and placed in the top ten in each.
